Saga of a Star Movie -- BSG Movie News

Has >>this<< been discussed already? Apparently Universal is still keen to make a Galactica movie. According to >>this<<, now they're looking at Lisa Joy to write the script. This troubles me because of what she's doing now (Westworld) - a story of human made, lifelike robots that go rogue to destroy all humans (humans, by the way, who largely have absolutely no morally redeeming values). That story line fits for Westworld, but is not true to a real retelling of Battlestar Galactica.

I just have concerns that this will be another shit-burger. That's assuming it ever gets off the ground.

Yeah we've talked about it. Check the date of the article. Near as we figure Joy was the third person to write a script. There will likely be several more before they ever roll cameras. But they will eventually. Universal wouldn't have paid a lot of money for the rights if they weren't going to use them.

Universal has a knack for enthusiastically hosing down the hopes of fandom.. My guess is none of us are going to get what we want..

But I am always up for a surprise. Enough monkies given enough time at a keyboard are said to be able to produce Shakespeare by pure chance ...

Perhaps the choice of Dylan Clark is a riff on that..

Writing communicates through time, allowing us to read the very words written by the ancients. We might read the proclaimations of rulers, or a simple laundry list.. Sometimes its hard to tell the difference...

I says: "Bring it on!" I'll worry about disappointment when (and if) more details surface.

If it goes with either established timeline, great.

If it tries something different, well, I'll try to keep an open mind until there's reason to do otherwise.
